Newland Secures Hong Kong MSO Licence to Accelerate Global Payment Footprint Expansion

Newland has officially been granted the Money Service Operator (MSO) Licence by the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department, marking a key milestone in the internationalization strategy of Newland Digital Commerce.

Leveraging Hong Kong’s status as an international financial hub, Newland has established end-to-end core channels for domestic and cross-border payment and settlement across its full business system, and built an efficient two-way capital network. The company provides foreign trade enterprises with global collection and payment services, real-time foreign exchange conversion and fund distribution solutions, enabling minute-level fund crediting and zero foreign exchange loss.

Newland Digital Commerce continues to advance its integrated international business layout combining local digitalization and cross-border payment services. As one of the most pivotal licences in the cross-border payment sector, the Hong Kong MSO Licence serves as a key node for the company to further refine its global compliance framework and cross-border payment network.

Currently, Newland is rolling out digital commerce operations in key Southeast Asian markets, and has completed international pilots for overseas acquiring and SaaS solutions in Singapore. Its international business now covers Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa, and parts of Europe and the Americas. The company remains committed to building a compliant, secure, transparent and traceable global payment service system, delivering more efficient fund collection and payment, cross-border settlement and fund distribution solutions for clients, and enabling seamless connectivity and efficient circulation of cross-border capital.

Guided by its dual core drivers of technology and compliance, Newland Digital Commerce has integrated AI capabilities to meet global anti-money laundering (AML) and transaction monitoring requirements. Going forward, Newland will further evolve into a global payment technology enterprise. Through ecosystem-based, intelligent and internationalized solutions, it will support the efficient overseas expansion of Chinese enterprises, and build comprehensive capabilities for global collection, global distribution and global acquiring.
